in a way enlightenment means you are an
unblemished life no branding once your
mistake memory for intelligence then you
messed up there are only two kinds of
people mistakes and mistakes if you see
things just the way they are people will
label you as a mistake people even
believe this that there will be some
science in the body and they burnt
Thresh only in their back on the
forehead see this just appeared in the
West people show their hands and there
are marks here and see say I have the
crucifixion marks so Jesus is appeared
for me in India Sankar will appear on
the shoulder you just have to burn
yourself you can brand yourself with
shampoo chakra or with crucifixion marks
or whatever nonsense you want in a way
enlightenment beings you are an
unblemished life no branding so you
brand yourself and you think you're
enlightened very sorry so if there is no
brandings
how do you recognize you cannot
recognize you cannot recognize how does
anybody here know I am enlightened or
not I never made a statement on that so
how do they know Jesus is unique yes
three you go and sit in front of your
kindergarten teacher do you know how
knowledgeable he or she is no but that
he or she knows ABC you do not know so
you sit
[Applause]
so right now we are talking expose II
you do not know so you sit so what does
it matter whether I got acknowledgment
from somewhere else or not you want to
learn XYZ you sit here you don't want
you go so what is it that is being
referred to as enlightenment you know
there's something called as daybreak is
a good word I like that
it's called sunrise but it's a daybreak
the day broke is it no it's a night that
broke hello the day broke or the night
broke night broke
night means what in our perception
darkness if you were an owl it would be
different in your perception night means
uncomfortable because dark your visual
apparatus are not comfortable in
darkness that's why we invented all
these lights and this and that why
because we are not comfortable when it's
dark because we don't know what is what
in light we see things clearly
so if night broke that means if clarity
appeared this is all sunrise is doing to
you you could not see you were
struggling Sun came up suddenly
confidence you know where to go where
not to go what to step into what not to
step into this is all enlightenment is
clarity came where you see everything
clearly you know there was a book that
we were publishing this is a series of
talks and something came to give a title
so I looked at the content a little bit
and then I said of mystics and mistakes
our English department said Sadhguru
this is two up in the face say something
little more gentle people are always
asking me so say something little more
gently you're capable of that come on I
am capable but I don't want to say
because people will twist it and turn it
in so many ways if you say it in a
face-slapping way they don't meddle with
it too much
so I said of mystics and mistakes what
it means is there are only two kinds of
people mistakes and mistakes if you see
things just the way they are people will
label you as a mystic so what are they
they're a mistake they are making
mistakes about perceiving basic aspects
of life that's all yes making mistakes
about perception why they're making
mistakes about perception there one hand
is always dipped in their memory this is
why we say karma they are mistaking
memory for intelligence that's all the
mistake they have done one should
mistake memory for intelligence then you
messed up if you have some memory about
something that other people do not know
you look like scholarly
see people read 10 books and they become
scholars people just read one book and
they become religious just one book how
come it qualifies you to become a
representative of God if you read more
than one book then you cannot be isn't
it you just have to read only one book
so this is mistaking memory for
intelligence our entire education system
is just this rubbish mistake in memory
for intelligence if you mistake memory
for intelligence we call your karma case
you're a karma case because you live out
of your memory not out of your
intelligence if you live out of your
intelligence absolutely without getting
your memory and intelligence mixed up
then people say oh he's enlightened
because whatever you bring it in front
of him he look at it and say this is
what it is simply because he doesn't mix
up memory and intelligence that's all as
simple as it seems everything that you
are right now is memory you're a man or
a woman this is memory not memory means
just conscious memory in your head you
body remembers isn't it hello if you and
me eat the same food I will not become a
woman you will not become a man the same
food goes into me and becomes a man the
same foot goes into you and becomes a
woman
this is my memory isn't it the body
remembers the body remembers if you and
the monkey the same food he will not
become you you will not become him
because the body remembers this
evolutionary memory genetic memory
elemental memory atomic memory conscious
unconscious levels of memory articulate
and inarticulate levels of memory who
you are itself is memory so if your
intelligence has to be free from memory
that means you're free from yourself
that's why
